Consider the reactions: Identify A, X, Y, and Z.
- AA-Methoxymethane, X-Ethanol, Y-Ethanoic acid, Z-Semicarbazide
- BA-Ethanal, X-Ethanol, Y-But-2-enal, Z-Semicarbazone
- CA-Ethanol, X-Acetaldehyde, Y-Butanone, Z-Hydrazone
- DA-Methoxymethane, X-Ethanoic acid, Y-Acetate ion, Z-hydrazine
Solution & Step-by-step Explanation
1. () can be Ethanol. Dehydrogenation with at gives Ethanal ().2. Ethanal () gives a positive Tollen's test (Silver mirror).3. Ethanal () undergoes Aldol condensation in base/heat to give But-2-enal ().4. Ethanal () reacts with semicarbazide to form Ethanal semicarbazone ().
